trying on capes this weekend

I received a new salon gown yesterday. I will use this one to pattern the gown that I'll be making soon. For salon gowns, do people prefer that they open in the front or in the back? I remember someone asking for snaps closure?

Now I have two capes to open and try on. I will shoot a video of me trying them on this Saturday. I'll post the video on YouTube by Sunday night.
